It’s nothing really

It’s just sometimes
When I walk away from the Earth’s core
I find myself searching
For a new piece of sunshine
Inside of me

Not much

It’s just sometimes
Much of what I deem perfection
Ends up disappointing me in some way
Just because it can

No—nothing here

It’s just sometimes
Here is the last place
I want to be
Seeing as being here
Just puts me in a class of
Me
Myself and…
I need some help sometimes

Oh—I’ve got nothing to say

To say the least
At least I can
Breathe on my own
Without needing the
Salt of your mouth’s
Oxygen machine
Although the sugar from
The tears I sweat
Sometimes
Drive me insane

Does it bother you when I ask you
Why you’d rather see the moon
Than let the sun cascade upon your eyes?


Does it bother you when I tell you
That I’d rather have you deny me
Then accept the mediocrity of
Some six-year old beauty queen?

It’s just sometimes
You make me mad as hell!

It’s just sometimes
You don’t see the mess you’ve left me to ponder over

It’s just sometimes
I wish I’d never ever seen your perfect smile

It’s just sometimes
You’re too damn good to be true

It’s just sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
I need you and
You’d rather parade around this charade of
Middle American happiness

It’s just sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
You send me into a place of sadness
That I cannot follow

It’s just sometimes
I forget that I’ve gotten over you

It’s just that…
It’s just that…
Sometimes…
Sometimes…
It’s just that sometimes…
It’s just that sometimes…

It’s just sometimes
It’s not fair!
You can forget about me
And probably have
But I still have to live with your
Lips
And your smile
And your eyes
And your light
Tattooed to the middle of my brain
And your kiss
And your touch
And your sex
All could have been good
If it were to exist within me

But it doesn’t
And I have to live with that
And I have to move on
And I have to remember that you hurt me
Not me hurting you
All I did was allow you to walk away

It’s just sometimes…

No…no…
Forget it…
I don’t have anything to say…
Just thinking out loud
It’s just…
It’s just that…
It’s just that sometimes…
Just…

Never mind…

Wanna bet?

I really liked this ramble!
Why?
Because I know it.

Thank you ever so much...sorry that I rambled...but sometimes it's the best therapy...and for some reason I was listening to a song...it's called "The Stupid Things" by this artist named Thicke...anyway I was listening to this and all the feelings I thought I had let go came to fruition...just needed to ramble and thought there was no better place to do it than Passions!

Again...thank you for your kind words!

(big angel hugs) Awwwwwww, I understand these emotions that your heart contemplates here, dearest friend! (sigh) I absolutely agree that rambling is good therapy; it helps to understand yourself and reflect on things often when facing situations with others, for understanding yourself and where you're coming from makes greater sense of where you want to go and how you want to breathe! (smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, I know with all my heart you will find all your deserving heart desires, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Haven't been around here for a long time, but every once in a while I pop in, and do a little reading, though I don't usually reply. This one really struck me. I've had this ramble, I understand it, and I really, really like the way you wrote it.

Oh...Sweet Angel O' Mine...thank you for your kind words.  As always you put the light back in my heart when I all seem to feel is darkness.  Love ya!

Tracey...I'm glad that I appealed to you so much.  I'm glad that people feel a connection with this ramble...first love is tough!

Again thank you all!!

It's just sometimes the words are bad and they are really bad
It's just sometimes, someone else is waiting and the exit is easy
It's just soemtimes, someone has to take blame and it doesn't matter who
It's just sometimes you are so close that you fight each other for breath
It's just sometimes
You wonder the next morning
Why one of you is still alive after the words you spoke to each other

It is just sometimes
You still want to go on

Together

this was expression at it finest...sometimes a body has got to ramble, expression is important for the soul, ventilation I suspect...hehe,

This isn't silly in the least...this was personal raw emotion written very well

"It’s just sometimes
I forget that I’ve gotten over you"

~ That line really popped out at me!

Actually, the whole ding dang ramble from a restless heart reached out and grabbed my attention!

This sort of ramble I could have verbalized many times over ~ in my previous lifetime! All I can say is that now, I do remember that I have gotten over him! lol

Great spill!!!

James...thank you for your comment.

Bodger...thank you for taking my words a step further and helping me move on once again.  Hopefully you're here if I ever have to escape myself again.

MGroves...thank you for your kind comment.

LeeJ...thank you so much for your understanding...it means a lot more to me than I can express!

Earth Angel...I'm happy that my words connected to you.  That means a lot.

Thank you all for your kind words and support of a silly little girl with a broken heart!

always let your voice be heard!

In your light I learn how to love
In your beauty how to make poems
You dance inside my chest where
no one sees you and that sight becomes this art

I greatly enjoyed reading these feelings~
Been there ... had 'em ... as most of us have at one time or another in our lives~

Great ink-spill, poetess~

"It's just sometimes. . ." Yep, the kissin' cousin of "ya know". . . can have so-o many additives that you drive yourself crazy thinking about them. But in the end none of them say anything like plain old, "It's just sometimes" . . . you know?

Wonderful write...

Enjoyed this because as you have just learned, so many of us understand the need to think out loud and sometimes even better to get it down on a page and try to understand ourselves... best to you, martyjo
